“”These are the pioneer steps which can turn the wheel of history in some other direction.

—Semiha Borovac, mayor of Sarajevo, while visiting the site.

The Bosnian pyramids are a bunch of hills in Bosnia and Herzegovina that rose to international notoriety in 2005 after Semir Osmanagić, a Bosnian businessman who runs a company in Texas, proclaimed them to be man-made pyramids. Much to the dismay of the international archaeological community, he enjoys some support by the Bosnian government who gave him permission to excavate the site and partially funded the "expedition."

The main claim is about the 213-metre (699 ft) Visočica hill, near the town of Visoko (various maps and satellite imagery), which according to Osmanagić is a buried pyramid, "The Pyramid of the Sun." Other nearby hills are "Pyramid of the Moon" and "Pyramid of the (Bosnian) Dragon." The so-called "pyramids" are in fact the product of tectonic uplift. Furthermore, Osmanagić used a backhoe for part of the excavation, conveniently shaping the earth into a more pyramid-like appearance (and simultaneously undertaking one of the least professional archaeological excavations ever).

In September 2016, Jason Colavito wrote on his blog that Osmanagić was now claiming that his Bosnian "pyramids" possessed the same kind of wootasticpowers that New Agers have ascribed to the genuine, Egyptian variety.[6]
